The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

As I'm struggling to make, I hope it racks it down all day tomorrow

OOh. I hope it clears up, it is a spring-like evening, 2000 turn up and we win 4 - 0. What are the odds on all of that ?

This game must be seriously in doubt? The only chance it's got is if the 4/5 degree temperatures during the middle of tomorrow manage to thaw the pitch and dispense of any standing water.

How's the pitch looking? White i presume.

Can't see it being on. There was water on the pitch on Saturday and because of the high water table it wasn't going anywhere. A slight thaw tomorrow means more water.

Looking at the fixtures I think the rearrangement would be for the 16th or 23rd of April, which would be quite good considering at the moment 5 of our last 6 games are away from home. :roll: A late April evening attendance is also going to get a higher crowd than another cold Tuesday night.

I agree. The temperature forecasted for tomorrow evening with wind chill factored in will mean a temperature of around -6C. That will seriously dent the attendance figure.

Went down this morning to have a look, patches of frozen water all over the pitch, and in the bottom corner of the pitch on the dugout side, there was a lot of water still standing.

the pump is going so "THAT MIGHT HELP THE CAUSE", going down at 9-00 in the morning to see what the pitch is like.

I popped in this evening and it looks like a miracle will be required for all the surface water to be dispersed before tomorrow. The match looks in doubt.

Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but Eynesburys site sayes inspection at 1pm tomorrow:
